The same seller has more 'mature' cacti coming along if you miss this one. Thrixanthocereus usually has long spines around the base but they may have been covered when potting. It's a bad, out of focus photo but I still think it's a C.Strausii, certainly not a C.Senilis. Maybe I'll send a message asking for the names of the other plants they're selling.

Re: Shameful practice
Looks like the poor thing is in soggy peat to me. And why not take a photo of each one, rather than "one very similar to the plant in the picture" if it's such a precious specimen. Are they going to send it potted? There will be an almighty mess when the buyer opens their parcel.
And £3.99 for an Aeonium Schwarzkopf?
